While musicians like Jill Scott, Maxwell, Master P and GloRilla rock the Caesars Superdome each night during the Essence Festival of Culture, that’s only a part of what’s going on this weekend. There will be plenty more happening over at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.
Essence Fest will host a number of “experiences” dedicated to beauty, health, fashion, business and other topics important to Black women and Black culture. There will be interviews and panels, workshops and demos, a marketplace and more in each experience hub.
Below is a round-up of this year’s experiences. All are free to attend and take place 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, July 4, through Sunday, July 6, unless otherwise noted. A free, general admission ticket is required and can be found at essence.com. Many programming specifics have not yet been announced, so look for the latest on the festival’s website or on the Essence 360 app.
